The 8 Cow Life

We talk a lot about budgeting our money and time, but we don't talk about the importance of budgeting our lives. On todays podcast I talk about why this is such an important concept and why it goes way beyond budgeting our time and money. I also give you the one thing you are going to have to do in order to do it more effectively. Come have a listen and then let me know what you think by leaving a review or hoping on a mini-session with me.

Structure and a schedule are good to keep us moving forward towards goals in our life. But just as important is getting off of a schedule and changing things up. Our brain is much like our pallet. We would never enjoy eating the exact same thing every day and so our brain doesn’t enjoy doing the exact same thing every day. It gets tired of the same old thing day in and day out. It needs to change things up so that it can be most efficient in the daily routine. Today I talk about the things I learned and saw happen as we unplugged from media for the summer and as we went on vacation. Spoiler alert - it did great things for my brain.

Take a listen and then let me know what you think. If you feel like you are in a rut yourself, I’m a great resource to help you see how to get unrutted. You can sign up for a free mini-session by following this link https://coachingwithmegtilton.as.me/freeminisession. I’d love to chat with you!

This month on "A Cup of Joel" Joel points out an interesting realization he had in looking at all the bad guys in the Book of Mormon.

Come have a listen to find out what it is and see if you agree.

Every year in July, my family delivers treats to our local friends. It's become a tradition I love because then I don't have to do a bunch of running around in December. In gearing up for this years treat delivery I started thinking about how we put so much pressure on those around us to deliver our happiness and are often very disappointed with they don't deliver exactly what we want. In todays episode I talk about how the power to deliver the most meaningful gifts you will get this Christmas lies within yourself. Come listen and find out what I'm giving me this year and how I can help you get a gift only you can give yourself.

We often think of “substance” in regards to material goods, money, etc., but what would change in our lives if we started thinking of “substance” as our talents, gifts, and personality traits that each of us has been given? Would you feel like the impact you could have on the world would increase and take on deeper meaning?

Today I talk about the importance of sharing our “substance” with the world and why we as LDS women need to start doing it more and more. I am a firm believer that we are past the days of living our lives as silent examples and that the Lord and the world need to hear more from us who are living the doctrines of the gospel and are God fearing women. It’s time to stop living in the shadows and come out in the open and share our God given talents with those around us.

Every single one of us has been offended at some point in our life. It hurts and is not fun. It's true that we do choose to be offended and that can be a hard realization to come to. It takes emotional maturity to take responsibility for our feelings and not blame others. Come have a listen today where we will discuss why we get offended and somethings to do so that we can stop.

We live in a very automated world. Everything from cleaning our clothes and dishes to making the food we put on our tables is done to create a process of greater ease and simplicity. The great news is that this frees up a lot of brain power for us so we can be more creative and contributing human beings. The downside is that other activities that do not allow us to create more and grow into our potential can take that free space if we don't manage our minds well.

Come have a listen today where I discuss the importance of making sure we are not letting our brains coast in autopilot mode and that we are constantly trying to live a more manual driven life.

In coaching I talk a lot with my clients about changing their beliefs but an additional step I learned recently took all the thought work to a new level. Today I explain the tangible process of belief and what that looks like in your life and how you know that you are truly going to get the results you want in your life.

It's not a new concept, in fact God has been teaching it to us for years so here's your chance to truly learn how to commit to your beliefs.

Often we speak of the process of repentance, but what does it mean to truly repent? Today Joel and I tackle this question and then follow it up with talking about what forgiveness looks like. It' s a great discussion and you don't want to miss it!

We live in a world that makes us think we have to have a the latest and greatest and if we don’t we are missing out. It has caused many of us to slip into what is often referred to as the “Scarcity Mindset”. Today I talk about three areas of scarcity we can fall into and what to do to get ourselves out of that mindset so we can live more abundant and full lives.
